What is supplier investment versus supplier development?

Supplier investment is the capital deployed to local suppliers through procurement spend, equity, and supply chain finance. Supplier development is the capacity building work that prepares those suppliers to win and deliver contracts, including certification, technical assistance, and prequalification. LocalContent.com verifies both.

What is workforce investment versus workforce development?

Workforce investment is the capital deployed to local workers through wages, benefits, and training stipends tied to projects. Workforce development is the capacity building work that prepares workers for those jobs, including pre-apprenticeships, registered apprenticeships, skills training, and career pathways. LocalContent.com verifies both.

What is community benefit investment versus community development?

Community benefit investment is the capital deployed to communities through Community Benefit Agreements, host community funds, and direct social investment. Community development is the capacity building work that prepares communities to participate in and benefit from that investment, including stakeholder engagement, governance, and long-term planning. LocalContent.com verifies both.
